I am not that informed on mods in apache/php. I need to include pam_auth in the mods for PHP. I have Lampp in /opt like the installation says, but when I try to 'make' the pam_auth from source, it has big problems with locations of php files. I've gone so far as to download the source of php_5.0.2, unpack it and throw pam_auth into the main folder of php_5.0.2. That gets the 'make' of pam_auth a bit farther but is still missing files. I'm almost read to just grab every file recursively and throw it in the ./pam_auth folder.

If you want to know why I'm doing this, read here. If not, skip to Problem.

I'm trying to create a web hosting server from scratch (as close as "from scratch" I can get while starting with Lampp). I am now trying to get users to be able to login using Linux Authentication. Pam is password authentication manager that decodes the passwd and shadow files for you. If anyone knows a better way for me to solve my problem, please let me know.

Thanks for your help. If you need anymore information just ask.
